Build a Colonial Flip Top Table Plans

These plans are to build a historic colonial-style flip top table.

With space at a premium in most
Colonial homes, the local cabinetmaker
was frequently called upon
to build a piece of furniture that
performed more than one function.
This table is typical of such pieces.

In addition to its basic role, it was
often used—with the top tilted—beside
the hearth; the top reflected
warmth to where it was wanted.

This historic table plan makes a prefectly multi-functional table, and a great conversation piece.
